Brown Trout
Brown trout fishing near Jacksonville, Oregon, offers a chance to explore the region's smaller rivers and streams. While the Rogue River gets much of the attention, its tributaries hold populations of wild and holdover brown trout. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are cooler, and the fish are more active. These browns aren't typically huge, but they can offer some exciting light-tackle action. Try small spinners, spoons, or dry flies that imitate local insects. Access to some of these streams can be challenging, often requiring hiking along the banks. A good starting point is to explore the creeks that feed into the Applegate River. Be sure to check local regulations regarding catch-and-release and any gear restrictions before you cast a line.
